What Happens When You Have Older Kids On Christmas

When your kids are older, I find Christmas isn't as chaotic. Christmas can be a little different.

Let me explain the ways.

1. You have to wake them up. It was about 830 and both kids were still passed out.

2. They'll mostly get things like video games. This is a plus because you don't have to put toys together! Or take them out of their packages.

3. And tons of food. My son eats all the time, so he got a bunch of chocolate and snacks. They'll be gone in like 3 days.

4. But if you have a girl, it might be makeup. I don't understand makeup, so I have her show me what she likes before Christmas so I know. 

5. Oh, they'll also have to post photos of their gifts on social media BEFORE they open them. Yup. Gotta get those new shoes on Snapchat! 

6. Batteries will still be forgotten. I have tons of AA ones, but naturally this requires Ds. Naturally.

Things are certainly different when kids are older. But personally, I prefer it. Still messy. But not so intense.
